Introducing.... Chris Morrell
Now that the main run of 2015 mountain bike races are drawing to a close with just one more enduro race to go before our eyes turn to Megan’s cyclocross campaign over winter I was ummm’ing and ahh’ing whether to take on some new riders for 2016. Early on in the year I actually had a male enduro rider all set to be supported alas he walked away at the last minute leaving me up the creek and that made me reluctant to take on anyone else for 2015. I felt really sorry throughout the year with Robyn being the team’s sole enduro rider.
This has now changed; recently I was approached by Chris Morrell and a North-Eastern enduro rider who races in the Masters, he’s been after a little support for a while so we had a good chat and he ticked all of the team’s boxes. It’s not often I take on a rider so quickly either, even before the rest of the team knew!
Chris will be racing Borderline Event’s PMBA Enduro Series alongside most of the Scottish and NDH Enduro events, he’s ready to let rip at the Enduro World Series event in Scotland and will be travelling into Europe for the Trans Savoie, other races are to be confirmed as it’s still early days.
So if you would all join me to give Chris a big cheery welcome, welcome aboard The Development Chris, I have a feeling you’re going to fit right in with my motley crew!
See you on the hills punks,
Lee.
